In the film, Tate portrayed twin brothers, Trane and Bird, on opposite sides of the law: Trane, a cop, and Bird, a con. On one fateful night in New York City, Trane is killed. Bird assumes his identity and begins his own search for redemption.

The film also featured Emayatzy Corinealdi, Michael Aronov, Phyllis Yvonne Stickney, Tawny Cypress and Aisha Hinds.

Consider it a backdoor pilot, as "Being Mary Jane" was for the network; Essentially, an audience "test’ to determine whether to order it to series. So one can assume that if last night’s ratings are strong (we haven’t seen the numbers yet), and BET brass is convinced there’s sufficiently enough interest in it as a series, then, like "Being Mary Jane," it’ll become a series. This would explain the film’s abrupt ending last night, leaving some wondering whether there would be a part 2. It was likely meant to be a cliffhanger, leaving you anticipating what might be to come, in the form of a series.

Jai reviewed the film for S&A last fall, after its premiere at the Urbanworld Film Festival last year. In short, she dug it. Read her thoughts here, and then return to share yours in the comment section below.

Here’s a preview of what you missed if you didn’t watch it (I assume BET will air it again in the near future):

An excellent movie with a riveting plot, and carried well by Lorenz Tate. I was anxious to see where this was going and actually felt disappointed at the end because it left me wanting to see more. I saw the film on Netflix so I immedately started searching for when it would continue on BET with no luck. Gun Hill was a well thought out and executed story- kudos to Larenz Tate and the way he navigated thru the storyline!

Great movie. Great content. Great story line. Literally flipping the script on one’s life. Praying for a sequel or better yet a gun hill series. Loving Lorenz Tate in this movie. He’s a bad mother. . . Shut your mouth in this film.

The show was very good, it most definitely needs to be a series. The way it ended was like a cliff hanger. The context of the story line was intriguing and moving. The end left the people wanting more.

This was a very good film, I appreciated the story and the realness of the ex-con character he portrays with the real jail house style of boxing,that shows he has actually did some time, it was very convincing. I believe the film would make a very good series, if that is the whole point of the movies abrupt ending. The end kind of leaves you with him now needing to find out who they were really trying to kill, and also if his brother might actually be found, it just leaves so many directions for the story to go in; very good film.

I watch this on BET and on Netflix, I LOVED IT! I don’t understand why it hasn’t been made into a series yet??? This is the kind of layered, dramatic, Black male characters I am talking about. Please BET make "Gun Hill" a regular series!!!

really enjoyed gun hill..searched for part to and was denied. glad to see something other than this dumb reality fake television…BET hurry up cant wait to see part two or hell just make it a series we really need some good tv

Loved this movie! It was quite refreshing. hardly any nudity or profanity. Excellent cast. I will be waiting patiently for episodes. I want to know what twin did he want? I see a lot of potential story lines here. It's been a long time since I've seen something that had me so captivaded and wanting more.

My husband and I just watched the movie on netflix, it was so good we just new they had a part 2, and we was like searching part 2 and didn't find it so we googled it to find out that they don't have a PART 2? What??, this was too good not to have a Part 2 within the year. But if they did come out with it, whenever they decide it's a good series, I would definitely remember the movie as the grreeat movie that didn't have a part 2@#@!$# lol…

That was a well put together movie. Its ashame that it's been put on the shelf this long. Are the actors asking for too much money to continue? What are the politics behind this decision? A series would nice even a PT2.

WTF???? What about part 2. How do you end a good movie with "To Be Continued" and dont have a part two. Seen it on Netflix and I can't recommend this movie because it is not finished and haven't heard anything about part 2.

Just watched on netflix & immediantly searched for part 2 also. Loved loved loved this!! Would love to see this made into a series..I really need to see the ending so please put a rush on this. Thank you..:-)

Absolutely adore Lorenz Tate!! He has always been a favorite. Just caught the movie on Netflix and it left me wanting to see more. #Great movie #Lorenz still got it #Please turn Gun Hill into a series!!

Really need to make a series or at least give us the second half. This was an amazing movie, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Larenz really did his thing and I am looking forward to seeing more of this.

I loved it. I loved the cliff hanger at the end. I also loved the fact that there was little cursing and nudity. I liked the plot of Mary Jane but its over the top for me with all the sex. Can't wait to see 2nd part of Gun Hill. I was excited to see it on Netflix.

Great Movie! Watched it on Netflix. I would have rated it a 5 but the ending leaves you hanging for more, and I have a love/hate disposition with conclusions that need to be continue. Like many others; I instantly got on-line looking for part 2. It is gratifying to see a movie that is not cluttered with profanity and nudity. Good acting does not require it. All of these actors and actress did their thing. Congrats! Now bring on part 2.

Just finished watching gun hill on netflix. Great movie, very intriguing. I found myself instantly on google right afterwards looking for the part 2. I can't wait to find out who the guys with the neck tattoos are.

I actual stumble on this movie on Netflix, man.. I am so mad that I could not find it anywhere. I look all over the internet, seires , movie it doesn't matter do it already! It's the best I've seen in a long time and my man Laurenz Tate is starring come on with it!!!!!!!

Best movie I've seen in a long time! The Ending had me go searching for Part 2 Right away! Sadly I guess something's are best left to the imagination. Most sequels I've seen didn't live up to the original movie, yet Gun Hill left me wishing there was a Part 2 or that it might become a series.
*Make the Sequel already, will ya?!!* :)

We are all LT fans in my family !!! We were told to watch this by a friend named Allen. He was going to get beat up by LT and was happy about that :)… I watched this with my husband we loved it. We were unaware of LT being a twin in this movie. We have 12 year old identical twin boys after watching it, I could not wait for our boys to watch it. I wanted to see the reaction of my twins when LT tied the sewer top to his bro. My boys loved it, but they were both questioning one another by the time the sewer top scene was near. U got a wide eye opener from the two of them. We love U LT give us more, more…. Oh yes, and which dude was Allen was he the guy LT beat up on the fence in the white T ?

Well defined plot and climax. Unlike everyone else I hope u guys do that turn this into a series full of commercial interruptions……. gives us a part 2 and 3 as a full length feature film. Nice work. And I will be sure to put this on a few of my blog sites as well as eblast it out to my companies email listserv. Netflix movie selection is redundant. …. This was a nice surprise….. keep up the great work…. nothing but love and support my way. I've been down with larenz since I can remember……. give us movies not a series………..lol

I really enjoyed this movie. Larenz Tate did a great job! However he doesn't get all the credit because the writer/writers and other actors/actress' did a great job too. I truly hope the show is picked up or there is at least a sequel. I would definitely be tuned in every week!

Ran across this movie on Netflix with the hubster and we both really really loved the movie. Lorenz Tate was phenomenal as were all the actors/actresses. I really appreciate the fact that the actors and actresses are not the same recycled ones that play in everything, it's nice to see new talent! Great casting, great story line, fantastic movie. Please give us a series!!!!! When the series does come out, please market it because I never heard of this movie, I just stumbled on it. Great job BET! Keep it coming.

Seen this movie on Netflix weeks ago and enjoyed it very much and ever since then ive been trying to find out when there will be more.. glad to see LT back on screen very good actor… can't wait for series or pt 2

I enjoyed the movie, decent plot. I really wanted to understand who Trane and Bird were as individuals prior to the infamous meeting. Seeing the to be continued at the end made me wonder if I had missed part 2. I immediately went online to see when part aired or if I could find part 2 online. If this is indeed an effort at a test pilot, the fact that we're blogging or commenting about it says a great deal. Hope to see at least a part 2 even if it's not slated to area as a series.

Thought it was a wonderful movie with Larenz Tate being his usual awesome self. It was two-fold for me. I got to see the gangsters that he does so well but tempered with the kindness of the good brother. The appropriate brother showed up at the appropriate time. Well done from the script to the direction and last but certainly NOT least, the acting on all parts. I would love to see a movie where all two brothers make it to the end.

Just watch this on Netflix!! I thought it was great!!! I want to see what happens next!!!! Please please bring the sequel or make it into a series!!! I also miss seeing Larenz Tate on screen so thanks for starring him. Definitely a great screening!!! And I hope everyone checks out Hidden Colors 3($30 on video on Amazon) and Dear White People (in theaters October 2014). I'm out!!!

I thought Gun Hill was great. Very surprising, emotional and excellent acting by Larenz Tate. It would be great to have a sequel but even better to have a serious,I really hope it gets turned into the series.

Just watched on Netflix and loved it, but was disappointed with the 'to be continued' part. While I understand this was a 'test' to see if a series might be possible, I certainly hope that if a series isn't developed that there is at least a Part 2 to finish/complete the story.

I am a movie addict and I give this show twoð,so whoever is responsible for giving the green light on a Pt.2 Hurry up and give it. I've spoke to several of my movie consultants & they Loved it to, so we're waiting anxiously.

I have watched the movie and I truly enjoyed it. Gun Hill rd is a place near and dear to my heart as this is the area I grew up in and Evander Childs HS is my alma mater. I would love to see this movie lead to a regular series and how Mr. Bythewood can keep us engaged and wanting more with a scripted drama series. An African American Police Crime Drama has not existed for a long time on tv since NY Undercover probably, however Gun Hill has taken the genre a step further and I want to see more . Lets hope BET fills the void and turns this into a regular series.

OMG!!!!!! I wasn't able to watch in July:( Just watched it and went looking everywhere for part 2 on Netflix, youtube you name it. To find out that it has not happened yet was so disappointing. Please BRING IT who do I have to write to. I truly was glued and cant wait for a conclusion and the series. I love Lorenz Tate he did a wonderful job. Make it happen!!

I remember when this first aired on July 2nd and I was really intrigued by the entire show until it reached the climactic end. now I am basically sick to my stomach because I can't believe that Viacom has not agreed to let you do a part 2 to conclude this movie. I believe it should be given its own series and continue the story line. It would be interesting to see Larenz Tate continue in his role with all the surprising characters and great actors and actresses. I will say a prayer that this great work can continue through adoption of the series, or at least the completion of what you have started!

First let me say, after watching the premiere of Gun Hill back in June (?), then seeing part1 in the description and to be continued at the end, I thought ATT screwed up the programming & I was pissed! Now,Â after watching Just KeKe and seeing the announcement for tonight's airing of Gun Hill,Â I thought, "Finally, Part 2" #NOTÂ I decided to Google it because I'm thinking to myself, "There is no way that I have missed part 2 this many times…" that's how I came across this site. Now after reading that part 2 is not even made yet, I am so pissed! I really think this is very poor marketing, poor consideration of your audience, a disservice, whatever… I don't even know what words to use to properly articulate how I feel about it. Why wouldn't you just leave it open ended, like a movie that simply leaves suspenseful implications that there may be more to come, rather than say "part 1" in the description and post "to be continued" across the screen, if there is no follow up??? #SLOPPY You made a great film that has the potential for more, but you made a grave error, by doing the most, as the kids say. Those two,Â seemingly small errors, actually lessened the quality of the film. And now knowing the truth of no follow-up, it comes off real thirsty. I'm over it!Â What separates the big boys from the little ones, knowing that less is more :/ I wish you all the best, but heed the warning…. Sometimes we get in the way of what God has for us because we are too busy trying to control things. When you live by the Spirit, you are not bound to the laws of this world. #TrustYourGifts

I admit I wasn't feeling it in the beginning. Seemed too farfetched that he could just assume his brothers identity considering how different their lives were. But a good job was done tying up those ends and making it believable. By the end of the movie I was all in. Would definitely watch this as a part two or a running series.

I LOVED this movie, and for it to end and say to be continued is wrong, either it should have ended completely or not keep the fans hanging on, and you guys not knowing whether to bring it back or not to me, is a dumb decision….Definitely bring it back.. Reggie Rock Bythewood right now I will say to, "you make me sick" leaving me hanging like that.

"I smell a rat"
"Put your shoes on"
"Funny… but don't you see a fly in the ointment?"
"No, but I see your funky feet… and when was the last time you brushed your teeth?"

**Black Statler and his disagreeable friend are at it again. This time Mr. Black Waldorf believes he has found a mysterious visitor**

"Oh, you got jokes. but for your information my teeth are in my pocket and my breath is as fresh as a new born baby"
"That's what I'm sayin'… your breath smells like dookie, aint no rats around here"
"But look, how long have we been doing this?"
"Well, before Tambay moved on up to the big leagues we were here – so whatsup?"
"You're right, we've been here long enough to see game when it comes through the door"
"Yep, we've seen it all"
"So tell me, have you ever seen the likes of what happening below our feet?"
"Hmmm… HOLY MACKERAL… there does seem to be odd traffic"
"Okay Mr. PC, you can call it "odd" I'll keep it real… its game-game-game"
"WHAT!?, who's runnin' game?"
"Don't put me on the spot, but… and you didn't here this from me, but… some of these new visitors/readers sound just alike"
"So!"
"So what black neighborhood have you been in were everyone speaks the same dialect, the same cadence, the same vernacular, the same punctuation, the same jargo… all using 3 lines or less"
"Holy Mackeral Andy, do you think…"
"Yeah, me think something is very fishy"
"Put your shoes back on *lol*"
"Stop being silly… I think one be 2-3-4-5-6-7 or more posters"
"NO?"
"yes"
"NO???"
"YES!"
"Well, is it possible that Reggie Rock is just doing an excellent job of promotion… and he's inviting fans to spread the new here at S&A?"
"I suppose that could be true but that doesn't explain why all of them sound just alike… listen to them. **Mr. Black Waldorf points to the posters below as they praises Gun Hill**

"Love it! When can we see part 2?"… "When is part 2 please tell me"… "Looking forward to part 2, Larentz Tate was very good in this pilot"… "loved the cliffhanger" " LOVED IT… loved Larenz Tate… very talented…loved the cliffhanger can't wait to see what happens next"

Statler: "Okay, enough already, I get it, Gun Hill was a mighty good movie"
Waldorf: "Now there you go… parakeet #169"
S: "No, that's your lie so I'll let you tell it. I'm just sayin' Gun Hill could have a nice series run"
W: "And you're a brown nose"
S: "and this be the world of S&A"
W: "And this be's a wrap, so go back to sleep"

I can't wait for part 2! This pilot was soooo!! good!!. Larez Tate did very well like always. I have recorded and watch it over five times. "BET YOU GUYS HAVE TO MAKE THIS OUT OF A SERIES" you guys have america attention with this one!! MAKE US PROUD. I will be looking forward to the upcoming series. GOD BLESS!

I really enjoyed the movie!!!! I watched on July 12th. What an awesome movie. Very happy to see Lorenz Tate back on television. Please continue and make it a series. Lorenz Tate is starring on a new show on Thursday night. RUSH!!! Perfect timing for airing this film. I have to know how it all will be played out the suspense is killing me.
I normally don't watch movies with commercials but I only watched because I miss seeing Lorenz Tate. Work it out!!!!
So thanks BET!!!

LOVED this movie! I missed the original air date but recorded and watched it on July 12th. Searched all through the cable guide to see when part 2 was coming on, only to find out that part 1 was a cliffhanger. Please continue this movie and make it a series, the suspense is killing me and besides I'd love to see Lorenz Tate back on television.

I had been looking forward to the movie for couple of weeks then somehow missed it. It came on again last night and I was so excited. I recorded it and watched without commercial interruption. OMG! I loved it! I knew I would because it starred Larenze Tate! He is absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see what comes next!!! Please keep up the awesome work!!!

Recorded it July 2 to watch later. It came back on July 12 and I sat down to watch it. Great movie. Found this website trying to find out when Part II starts. Got to know "which brother was he trying to kill".

I loved the cliffhanger. I was like OMG!!! Then I see to be continued & hurried up to jump online to see when the continuation was coming back on. I don't see anything info about that. However the story has me intrigued to see more. The movie overall was exceptional. I truly enjoyed it. I will be on the look out for the follow up or series (crossing fingers) Good job cast & crew.

I absolutely loved the movie. Lorenz Tate and Aisha Hinds and the other actors also. I couldn't walk away from the television until commercials came on because I didn't want to miss any part of the movie.

This was an amazing movie if I do say so myself. I found myself not wanting to move away from the t.v. for nothing just so I would not miss nothing. I loved how it had me guessing as to what was going to happen next too. I can't wait to see what is next because the way it was ended has me on the edge of my seat wanting more. Big ups to the writer, actors, and producer/s I have been looking for a movie like this and you all gave it to me. Hurry with the rest please. Thank you.

I really really absolutely enjoyed this movie. Reggie Rock did a superb job in directing this movie. This is now my new favorite movie with Larenz Tate. Hewas so amazing. Please make this a series. You got surfing the net looking for part 2. Glad I decided to stay in tonight. We'll worth it!

Reggie, truly amazing. I miss New York Under Cover by the way. I'm a 80's baby and loved hearing hip hop and R&B every week on one of my favorite shows, it really set the stage for each episode and made it feel relevant. Keep it up and hope this becomes a series. Well done sir!

BRAVO—What an outstanding performance by Larenz Tate and others. I recorded it and will be watching again Saturday if it is showing. The action was incredible and there was never a dull moment. It was not long enough for it is movies like these have you anticipating the next move. It seem so real and did not seem fake at al. Please, please give me more!!!!!

Put that work back in full effect hats off to the writers, and the actors who do a pro level to share the world that its real talent beside the pop stars who het main stream to a audience that are not on the cusp like they think their colleage, Lt did go off,and the storyline pitch is fresh, and drama jaw dropped, when shit was chaotic and simple from time to various spots of me looking but I had a female over and had preocciupied focus. Lol Big Ups mr. Story teller!?*

AWESOME MOVIE? AWESOME STAR! This movie ended to soon..i cannot wait for the 2nd part. Dont tease us if it is not true. AS ALWAYS Larenz Tate is the best! He is underrated seriously and everything he has ever been in has been great whether he is just a guest start and taking the lead..Long standing good! I just watched for the 2nd time/ glad i DVRD..

Well I guess I am the only negro who forgot to DVR it at least, so I am glad for the re-airing of it tonight. It looks really, really good. Even just the allusion to two of our greatest jazz icons via the names of the twin brothers, has me interested. Congrats to Reggie, Larenz, Emayatzy (whom I adored in Middle of Nowhere) and the entire creative team, for making it this far. With this kind of audience reaction, I am certain that BET will pick it up.

I recorded the movie. I just watched it…OMG! I only have one word to describe this movie, AWESOME! The story line and dialogue was captivating. I wanted to see more… I look forward to seeing this movie become a series. I have always enjoyed Larenz Tate's work, especially, in "Love Jones". Reggie, I too, concur, Larenz Tate is a class act. This was a great movie! Well done! :)

Seriously this made for cable movie got more positive reviews than Star Wars, Gremlins, Malcolm X, New Jack City, Blade Runner, Scarface, The Godfather 1-3, The Matrix, Titanic, Avatar, Shrek, 48 Hours, and Home Alone combined. Its this type of honest, heartfelt, sincere, feedback that make a nicka wanna use his real name and email address.

OMG!!! THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME! IT HAD MY MIND ALL OVER THE PLACE WONDERING WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT!! AND THE ENDING REALLY HAD ME WONDERING. WAITING FOR MORE THIS HAS TO BE PICKED UP AS A SERIES OR PART TWO OF THE MOVIE. LORENZO TATE IS A GREAT ACTOR WHOM I'VE BEEN FOLLOW ON SCREEN SINCE (INK WELL).. AND I QUOTE LORENZO TATE IS VERY UNDER RATED!!

Excellent story line-Perfect cast and Lorenz Tate nailed it!!!!!! this was TOPS!! Better than the some of the scripts that was picked up for move theathers. It would be a loss if this is not accepted as a series. Please try and turn this into a series-it will be a success.

OMGosh what a great movie! Love Lorenz Tate. Story line was good. I ended up taping it and watched it tonight. Sort of bummed because we had a storm and my cable cut off some during the movie, but I was able to follow. But the ending – I agree with a few other posts, I thought my timer cut off, had to pan back to make sure. WOW – this has got to be picked up, I need to know "which brother they thought he is?" You got me hooked!

reggie….ive been around for awhile and your name hooked up to some good stuff and I was pleased with this show but when it went off I thought my recording time was too short and I was all over the tv menu looking for a replay because I thought I missed the ending…I WILL BE WATCHING….LARENZ IS UNDERRATED….HE CAN PLAY ANYTHING…HE'S THE BEST YOUNG ACTOR OUT…GREAT WORK BRO….

This show was great. It was good to see a character that portrayed a black man as strong, smart and loving to his son. I hope they continue this as a series. No coonery no buffoonery just a great actor that is superb at his craft.

I had to GOOGLE "Gunhill" because I could not find the next airing on my guide. I certainly hope that this is continued. The storyline and cast hooked me. I hope this doesn't go as "Ironside" went with Blair Underwood. I loved him in that!

It is great to see young African American actors take charge of their futures.

Hate to burst anyone's bubble but if this does become a series it is unlikely that Larenz will be reprising his role since he is costarring in a new show on USA's Rush. Of course if the show is cancelled then we can revisit this conversation but as of now Larenz's commitment to Rush will make it impossible.

Lorenz Tate is an excellent an talented actor. An that is a nice piece of chocolate to look at on a weekly. The movie was outstanding and loved the story line. I was wanting to see more last night. This movie quickly drew me in wanting more an to know more about all of them. Please dont have us waiting long. Lorenz Tate is very talented an not seen enough of.

Soooooooooo Talented. It's about time they found something for you to do [smile]. Lorenz has not aged a bit. Still looking goooooooooooooood. This is going to be a good series. Please do not keep us waiting for the series. The fight scenes were excellent, a first and so cute and well done..I loved it. Lorenz believe it or not you have a fan base. God has really gifted you, make him proud.

Lorenzo Tate it was drew me to record while I had to work then watch. The ending left me hanging. This would be great series. Not much time for TV but Lorenzo Tate is a great actor and I would love to watch him weekly. Great storyline and I want more !

Loved the movie…it really sucked me in.The ending left me hanging& wanting MORE….PLEASE make this a series. I would love to see how Bird can take over Train's life
I've been a LarenzTate fan since South Central & I will definitely
ttune in every week!!!!
